The farce of condemning and repriev- ing 1s being repeated. All Ireland, and a large portion of England are on tip-toe + wegarding these trials. The trials of Burk and his associates were regarded with more , than ordwary terest on account of . the cupericr talents of the gentleman who con. ducted the defence, Messrs, Butt, and "Dowsne, the Nigh estimation in which Burk 'and several others of the prisoners were held ; and last but not least the fact that the traitor Massey, the Fenian informer "and bogus general, was to be placed in the dor; A most pliable and convenient creature he certainly is. Batt the counsel for the defence bad quite & spar with the Lord Lieut be fioally told his lordship that there were certain points on whic hbe did not wish even his instruction. The speech delivered by Burk, ene of the prison ers, before the court would have done honor to a better cause.

An amiable young man, a Medical stad- ent of Victoria College, and a resident of Barrie liad been afflicted with disease of the 'brain for some time,the nature ol the disease however did not appear to be well under- stood by the [:iends at Barrie; the conse- quence was that he was sent on to Toronto toone Mr. Risch, brother-m-law to the young man ; at the same timo a telegram was sent tc Mr. Risch to meet the invalid at the Cars. Risch however was [rom home, and when the young man arrived there was no one there to receive him not "knowing where to go he wandered about . the city till overcome by the, disease the c police found him in a half uuconcious state, and in blind stepility, dragged him off to the station, mistaking the disease forthe ef- fects of hquor.

It is really amusing to see our Quebec ' neighbors figl ting over the division of the generous gifts of the charitable. The whole thiag seems to be a gigantic scram- * ble. When the late great fire fouk place -sin that city, funds came pouring in a most © generous stream. It fell into the bands of parties who knew much better bow to col lect, and bold on to it, than to distribute it to the poor ; the consequence was that . the poor were lefiin an almost famishing © 'condition, while the money lay in the hands | of the committee doing no good to any . one, but causing an everlasting feud be. tween the injured poor (as they termed themselves) and the misnamed commis- siopers'. Now there is a perfect serfeit of cash and every one that can obtain any . are: using every effort to do so, some get- ting from 50 to 60 dollars on pretext of belping them to buird again;but just so soun -vup they receive the cash they are off to 'spend it in other ways and soon return for more, The division of the spoils the other © day eame pretty nearly creating a riot, a rather poor satisfaction for the donors. ~The whole thing is simply ridiculous and ok BER oF THE Faminy.--We hand of fellowship to our en- of the Ingersoll News on d as a public j list appearance of the paper, di'the Maiter and the manner got up; we have every reason it eminently suc- ele of tha pubhe pecuniary investment, TEA MEETING. The Tea Meeting and Lecture under the anspices of the Ladies' Society,in connection withthe Wesleyan Church in this place was held, accorling to announcement, on Wednesday 15th instant. The tea was served in the basement of the Chureh. This basement forms a great addition to the convenience of the Church, as all Business Meetings, Tea Meetings, Sabbath Schools: &e., can be held there with the greatest, comfort, while the Chureh can thus be kept to its legitimate purpose, and saved the large amount of necessary tear and wear attending ordinary meetings, The Tea and all its nccompaniements were well got up. After tea the assembly repaired to the Church. The Rev. Mr. McFaddan Chairman of the district, opened the pro- ceedings by giving outa hymn, which was followed by prayer ; after which the lecturer Rev. Mr. Cochrane read a most, charming lecture on ¢ Social Christianity" We took prety cof notes and should have given onr readers the benefit of them were it not that a move was made to have the entire lecture published, which doubtless will be complied with, when the public will have the lecture complete which occupied an hour and a half in reading. mn re A --eeee STILL ANOTHER JOURNAL.

This worthy bad been attempting to raise the wind by intriguing with some of the baser sort in order to entrap some of the unsuspecting dealers in the forty rod whisky. Heattempted to act the role of both spy and traitor ; doing a little business as he was p'eased to style it, in the way of whisky detecting. and caused a number of offending liquor dealers to be summoned up, but bis enterprise was brought to grief before culminating, through the interfer. ence of an infuriated mob, who run him out of the town, nearly smothering him with decomposed eggs and other filth. -- tt JEFF DAVIS ON THE STUMP, Jef is at this:day the best worshipped man in America.

JOHN (NOTT.) Poor John has caught the itch, the worst kind of itch, the most virulent type of that most loathsome of all diseases. We would advise every one who would seek to avcid the contagion of Jolu's peculiarly disgust- ing itch (for scribbling) to keep away from him : bis highest aim's to see bis name in print ; his scrawl he deems sublime ol though there's nothing in't. Jobn in bis magnanimity of soul dedicated his first epistle to ourjspecial benefit ; but we could not for the life of us get the miserable trash to hang together fong enough to get it set up, and in pity to its non ccmpos author we threw it into the scrap box, for which act of sacrilege John opens upon us the vials of his fury in perfect torrents. But wherefore all this righteous indignation ? what had we done to bring this Notrep seribbler's ire upon our unconscious head? The front of our offending was this--at a late mee ting held in Brock, Jack, as bis wont, kept braying with all bis might. The other reporters present, knowing how worthless his harangue, passed both him and it over in silent contempt; but we were so foolish as to follow him in b's stupid gyrations, and only got snubbed for our pains, and served us right, what had we to do with him or bis nonsense. Let that be as it may, we did take note of his braying, but because we gave it as he did, }and refused so.to.change it as to.meet. his lofty views, we so much displeased the orator that he lashed himself ioto a tower- ing passion and determines either to rush into the lake ! no ! but into print, or commit political suicide. The latter would have been the wiser course by all odds, but John, tree to his instincts, chose the former ; and in order to get a full sweep for his gigantic intellect he enters tke lists with two com- batants at once. Issuing bis second epis- tle over half a column in length and of the veriest rubbish, This he generously de. votes to the * Chronicle" summoning to the bar of his refiaed criticism the entire staff, including its correspondents, in order that he might administer to them, what he conceived, a merited castigation. But aga poor John is unfortunate in his aim, and only succeeds in getting himself an. nibilated with but one balf stick of type in reply, proving beyond a doubt that «* Fair Play" had bit the mark io layiog out the + Nott--Able" John. Observe how they cook poor John. The Whitby # Chronicle" of last week says : + 4 Mr. Nott may be a very important man in his own estimation. But he 1s nct the most desirable correspondent in the world. We must ieform bim that we have no time to prepare bis productions for the press ; nor to afford so much space for a beap of rubbish that might, if made sense of, be fitted into a stick of type." And this is all that poor Joba gets for bis second epistle. Chafing with rage left to himself, and desperate at that ; he in the very height of lis righteous indignation pens bis third epistle, giving us the entire, benefit of it, and trying to be as insolent as he knows how, and none knows better than he, nor has practiced it oftener. So that nothing prospers that he touches. If you wish a cause destroyed, set Jobn to advocate it, and its death warrant is signed. * Oh! John! Oh! Jobn! you'll get yor fairn! Your crimes will roast you like a hern." But why twit us about Latin and Greek ? why drive us back to the time when we whi ur school boys into subjection, i u think if you had had the good fortute to be 'one of our pupils and had got your needed portion of the rod; and you would have got it with interest; don't you believe that you would have been twice as good a man as you now are; in fact were you now, o get paid up to you, at compound interest, all that you should have got at an earlier stage, although it certainly would not cure you, it would nevertheless have a salutary effect. Compare yourself with any one of those boys whom you say | whipped into obedience and you will then be able to judge how immeasurably far behind they have left you in the race, Do you imagine for a moment that if we had had the pleasure of whipping you into sub. jection that that $50 jote with all its harrassing associations would have ever been in existence. We suspect not; but hush! But John's last is the funniest cut ofall. Ile tells us "that he will Irave the matter to the delegates and if seven tenths of those present don't say that his version is the correct one he will make an acknowledgement." Why not save himself and the deligates the trouble and make an acknowledgement without further ado. The plan is very gond in theory but utterly valueless in practice ; fur John must know that there were not five men there either knew or cared for anything he said, what did the delegates care for either him or us. How in creation can the delegates know now what he said seeing that he himself did not know what he said during the very time that be was sprouting. Never mind, John, the world will wag just as comfortably even should it never know the exact words You used on that mem- orable occasion ; it is true posterity may, suffer from not knowing the identical expression made use of hy the orator, but this is not the first instance in which the language of a great man has been lost to posterity. There is one thing we wish to say in this connection ie that we have little chance to misquote John again, as in tuture we will do as others have done in times past--let him rave away to the wind. In future we will deliver him and his communications over to the tender mercies of the "devil," whom he will find most assiduous in his attentions. et -------- CAUTION TO CHILDREN. Another instance of the fatal effects of eating poisonous vegetables, On the 11th instant two young men brothers, and residents of Bres'au, C. W., aged re. spectively 18 and 13 years were acci- dently poisoned by eating wild parsnip, as they supposed, but unfortunately it turned out to be a most deadly poison-- ous root so much so that one of them dropped dead within half an hour from the time in which he eat of it. The other seeing his brother's case made for home with all speed but ere he had reached his dwelling he too dropped down dead. It now becomes our truely painful duty to record another instance of poi- oning in a similar way. Oa the 16th instant a fine girl of 7 years of sge--a daughter of Mr. Alonza Sexton, Port Perry, while amusing herself among the plants and shrubs around her home had incautiously 'eaten of some poisonous vegetable from the fatal effects of which she died on the morning of the 19ih inst. ed family under the truely painful cir cumstances. eee eee ANOTHER NEWSPAPER. ¢ Le Republican Canadien" 1s the title Language) published at Montreal, the first number of which has just been laid on our table, Tt is written with considerable vigor.

Whether it is made use of with the intention of gull- ing the poor, or whether the parties making use of it expect that by Jeaving the respon-- sibility on another they exonerate themsel- ves it is difficult to say, however the action of mauy of our civic rullers would lead us to the former conclusion. Were it not so those evils which exclusiveiy haunt the poor as a class and which could be easily remedied would net be permitted to go on from year [10 year. We toler in this in- stance to the low grogery system which for a certain consideration, in way of fines or otherwise, 1s allowed to ply its hellish avoo- ation with fearful effect. Instead of sweep- ing the evil from the land which could be easily doe jit has been constituted a regu- lar source of diabolical revenue and in order to make it more productive they have added to it the spy system, another woefully de- moralizing occupation In all conscience the matter has surely gone far enough when even ladies are taking the field.

G. Jamieson. The services were opens ed by reading the 15th chap. of 1st Cor., after which a portion of that beautiful psalm--Lortl thou hast been our dwelling place in generations all--(the 90th) was sung ; followed by a very | a appropriate and impressive prayer, then .the hymn " There is a land of pure delight &e., &c The 5th and 6th verses of the 90th Psalm. were selected as a toxt--* Thou carriest them away like a flood, &c." The speaker set out by remark- ing that the psalms notwithstanding their being styled * The Psalms of David" werenot all writ- ten by that author. Several authors took past in getting up the psalms. The one from which the text was taken, was written by Moses, and it contained a large amount of valuable instruction. In refeiring to the existence of God it spoke as it were of two eternities--a past and a future-- " Prom evetlasting to everlasting thou art God" and this could be predicted of no other being, He said that the psalm before us, contained some of the most beautiful praycrs--such as " Make us glad according to the days wherein thou has't afllicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil." "Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us," &e. What, he would ask is meant here by the beauty of the Lord ? It referred to his holiness, and when we offered this prayer, we sought for that holiness without which none can see the Lord. Beauty of person he said was of no consequence, if the beauty of the Lord, i. e., his holiness is absent, as there can be no real beauty without it. The speaker remarked that the chief purpose of the text was to exhibit in a striking manner the brevity of human life, and for this purpose several beautiful figures were employed to illustrate the fact Human life was compared to the rapidly passing flood--to a sleep during which the hours pass unconciously--to the grass of the field which comes forth in the morn- ing green and lovely, butere evening is cut down and withered--to the passing vapor, which pass- es away as ashaddow and leaves r.o trace be- hind--or to a tale that is told. The speaker re- marked that a vivid view of the shortness of human life may be obtained by comparing it withsome of the objects of nature. What he would ask was the duration of human life com- pared to that of a tree--with that of the ever- lasting hills, or with the rocks in the interior of 'the earth of whose great age, geologists tell us--or even with the existence of the world itself. Human life, he said, was vastly shertened to what it originally was. In the antediluvian period," human life, stretched out to neatly a thonsand years--though now cut down to three score and ten ; but whether we compared it at three score and ten or at 969 it was as nothing when compared to the endless ages of eternity. Jacob, he said, was well aware of this fact when he said, " few and evil have the days and years of my pilgrimage been. Joseph too gave expres- sion to a similar idea. But it is difficult to convince youth of this all important fact. They look ahead into the distant future and imagine that they see along, long life, stretching out in the distance. Talk of the brevity of human life to the young mananxiously longing for the time when he shall be of age, and become his own master : how rarely, he said, can such be con- vinced of the fact thathtiman life is but a shadow. The time will come however when they shall be induced to acknowledge it; and with some, alas; when too late, The language of the text he said, implied that human life was not only short but very uncertain, *We know not what shall be on thie morrow." 'We have all seen the brittle thread of life snapped as it were in a moment. The summons of death may be put into our hands at any time, and in any place. The unexpected sound may fall upon the ear at any moment; " Go ye out to meet the bridegroom"? The ehild, whose Icss we now deplore, was, he eaid, but one short week ago full of busy life, health bloomed on her eheek and sparkled in her eye, and we cannot help lamenting her early de parture. God's providences are often mysterious 10 us and we are apt to _compain, forgetful of the fact that God acts as a kind loving father, and not as an arbitary ruler. How often does it happen that those events which we most diead, which we imagine will be most adverse to us, prove themselves in the end to have heen for onr best interests. It so happened with Jacob; though at one time he excliimed-- "all these things are against me." Behind a frowning providence God hides a smiling face. He suid there was one great source of consolation to those whose friends died in childhood ; that was the full confi- dence that their salvation was secure. It sometimes happened that those who die in mature years fail to afford us any jus ground for lope in their salvation.-- Not so with the death of the iufint; he had no hesitancy in asserting his full belief in the salvation of every oe d n infancy. Tlo e dying in infancy le believed all partook of the benefit of Christ's death which se- cured their everlasting salvation; and' the sayings of Christ himself, while on earth fully bore out this idea. " Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of suchis thekingdom ofheaven." Life, he said though both short and uncertain was of vast import! ance; because everlasting issues hang upon it. The [Very fact af fife beitg (he semkcitaf pr eparation for erer=-- nity invested it with an fal impottance. What he would ask renders the season of youth of £0 much ime portance in a worldlyfpoint of view? was it not that this is the season of preparation for future life--the child isthe makig® of the man. How important is it for all 10 know, and act accordingly, that what we sow now we shall reap hereafier ; for we all do sow either for good or evil--we are all sowing either to the flesh or to the spirit. We are, he said, all prone to overlook the the great cnd of life and to neglect its chief concerns bing busied and driven by the things of time, to the almost exclusion of .hose of eternity. It is right and proper that wa shou!d pay a due regard to the concerns of the present life but the things of the next should oe- cupy the chief place in our minds.

He was perfectly disgust ed with the prospects of Madoe." Dy A TRIFLING DISCREPANCY, THe RiouarDsoN Mine.--The Roch- ester Express of Wedoesd-y evening has the following with regard to the four barrels of matter which were taken some time ago from the Richardson mine at Madoc, and seized at Carlotte by Mr. Harding, of Boston. who cla'ms possession of the mine : « Fabulous stories were told of the value of this mud and quartz, an accurate neigh- bor putting the figures at $100 000 or over. But we made no mention of the case, preferring to await an investigation ppon the valuation of the articles seized. Samples have been given to com- petent aseayists, who yesterday concluded their test, «nd report that.the mud yields one grain of gold tc the pound. and that the yield of the quartz will be the same. or allowing for wastage, $250 per ton. The total weight of the quartz and mud is 1,812 pounds, and consequently the - value of the whole 1s abut $225. ~ This is in paying quantities, and if the mud did come from the Richmond mine, and has not been salted (that is fixed up by preparation, as was the custom in oildom) the mine will pay to work. It will not pay at the as say. ouc correct neighbor. gives, viz: $2 per ton. The Buffalo Courier contends that the assay gave only from $2 to $2 50 per ton, At twenty times that amount the mine would not pay woiking expenses. There is a mystery hanging over this whole mat- ter, which seems difficult of solution. But time, the grand revealers of secrets, will soon lay bare the whole matter. et #---- OREGON SPORTS, DEADLY BATTLE IN A BALL ROOM.
